Katherine felt ground underneath her as she came to, and then saw that wherever she was looked like Mystic Falls, but with no one populating it.599Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ7hgEis1e
"What the Hell?" She questioned.599Please respect copyright.PENANAmAXgzgOVxd
There was a newspaper not far from her. She sat up and looked down at it at the date, which she read was April 22,1994.599Please respect copyright.PENANAkE2lU9URKa
She got to her feet and started walking, needing to know where she was. She knew she was dead and the Other Side had disintegrated, so why was she here? She needed answers and that's what she was going to get. She was Katherine and Katherine always got what she wanted, no matter what. It didn't matter if she was human or not.599Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2sZbgzmtF

Once in the woods, she came upon something she recognized and knew what she had to do. She picked up the ascendant and set it up so it would work. Then, once there was an eclipse, she used magic to get transported out of there and to the real world.599Please respect copyright.PENANALrLaSTP9vQ
A moment later, she found herself alive, human, and standing outside the Mikaelson family home in New Orleans.599Please respect copyright.PENANArbHy8lMJIk
She dropped the ascendant and walked inside to see everyone there, excluding her lover's elder brother, planning something, which she knew meant going to war. Elijah wasn't present, so she figured they were trying to get him back from an enemy. The only ones present were Klaus, Kol, Rebekah, Hayley, Marcel, Cami, Davina, and a child she guessed was the "miracle" baby she had heard about.599Please respect copyright.PENANAyGfnk1OaHQ
When she walked in, she was met with a glare from Hayley, mostly shocked faces from others that she was alive, and a smile from Klaus.599Please respect copyright.PENANAJXla2USho4
"What brings you here, luv?" He asked her.599Please respect copyright.PENANAedlu8h4spW
"I'll tell you later. Right now, I want to know what's going on. You look like you're going to war and you're going to kill someone."599Please respect copyright.PENANAdmlXq7eupm
"Well, no use avoiding your curiosity. Esther and Mikael have been resurrected. So have Kol and Finn, but Finn's in a box. Esther has captured Elijah and thinks that making us witches will bring our family together again. I'm going to go get my brother, while they go after her werewolf body guards," he explained.599Please respect copyright.PENANALEuYST69gX
"We're not going to kill them unless we have to. I don't want to kill my own people. Besides, it won't earn their trust or respect by killing my family," Hayley told her.599Please respect copyright.PENANAoEJwi9WSzq
"That, I can agree on. Family is everything. Family sticks together as one," Katherine sympathized. "I'm coming with you," she added, looking at Klaus.599Please respect copyright.PENANAHwz3rfUPe9
"No. I won't have you put in danger. Stay here and wait for me," Klaus ordered.599Please respect copyright.PENANASle07ADNGQ
Before she could argue, he was gone, the others leaving as well. Then Cami headed home and Katherine was alone.599Please respect copyright.PENANAxGGUEb4rii
Screw this. If I can't help with Esther, I can take care of Mikael, she thought, heading out, using her tracking skills and magic to find Mikael.599Please respect copyright.PENANAcFpUHEgco9
599Please respect copyright.PENANAp8CLx3lZ6y
599Please respect copyright.PENANAfB505U6gwP
An hour later, she found him in the woods. 599Please respect copyright.PENANAvZSUvygW6l
She used magic to throw him against a tree.599Please respect copyright.PENANARMfXSKKltS
"Well, well; if it isn't the runaway doppelgänger turned human again," Mikael greeted.599Please respect copyright.PENANAwPWp74WhfP
"Hello again, Mikael," she greeted back.599Please respect copyright.PENANAohtf75nCxa
She through him again, as she walked towards him.599Please respect copyright.PENANA8HUeEBNsGF
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way, but I'm going to destroy you. I won't let you kill Klaus and his siblings," she added.599Please respect copyright.PENANA0yXhGN4m1D
"What are you going to do about it?" Mikael inquired. "You're human and you don't even have this." He took out the White Oak stake. "You can't kill me if you don't have the right weapon." He smiled at her.599Please respect copyright.PENANA0nJ1LuYJ15
Soon, they were fighting head on. She put up a pretty good fight, but she lost.599Please respect copyright.PENANA6mMJ89ofmk
599Please respect copyright.PENANA44j0CPQ1fv
599Please respect copyright.PENANAwmj2nH7aHo
Meanwhile, Klaus had rescued Elijah and was now looking everywhere for the love of his life.599Please respect copyright.PENANA97A2MdwDvv
His phone rang.599Please respect copyright.PENANACAxetdbkpD
He stopped on a sidewalk and answered it.599Please respect copyright.PENANARM2JUP0nYL
"I assume you're looking for your precious Katerina about now," Mikael said, before Klaus could say anything.599Please respect copyright.PENANAtzQhc7QqWR
"If you harm her in any way, I will make you suffer. I will tear you apart, limb by limb. I give you my word," Klaus warned him.599Please respect copyright.PENANAvWBuX7Wgdf
"Come alone. You better hurry, or you'll be too late. Let's face it; she's human now; easy to kill."599Please respect copyright.PENANAVEnABUUovq
Mikael hung up and Klaus gave a growl, before heading for the woods, making a guess of where they might be. Mikael had always loved the woods.599Please respect copyright.PENANARvyxj37sY9
599Please respect copyright.PENANATUDxmrxZX2
599Please respect copyright.PENANA02JEpeTyam
Mikael had Katherine in an old house in the woods, tied to a chair with ropes, injured but still a fighter.599Please respect copyright.PENANAqZmMTGHnLL
"You're going to pay when he gets here," she warned him.599Please respect copyright.PENANABEX5RBtRVc
"Oh, really? I don't think so. I have the White Oak stake and he doesn't. I'm much more powerful than even a hybrid; an abomination."599Please respect copyright.PENANAv8BRKiGzci
"Strength always out weighs weapons," she said. "The mind is the best strength he'll ever have against you. You think you'll win, but you won't. The thing stronger than your hatred for him is his love for me. Love is always stronger than hate."599Please respect copyright.PENANAJzK6GgESQZ
"Shut up," Mikael growled.599Please respect copyright.PENANAVLHEjop50L
"Go to hell," she replied.599Please respect copyright.PENANAddTBg7xiaG
"You first," he replied back.599Please respect copyright.PENANAXGzKLMYkoJ
He stabbed her in the stomach.599Please respect copyright.PENANAwaYIRrLMxf
"Been there. Done that," she said through the pain.599Please respect copyright.PENANAheA3v9mhAo
He pulled the dagger out and let it drop to the floor.599Please respect copyright.PENANAT9gvL43Fqa
A moment later, Klaus arrived.599Please respect copyright.PENANAJgbagWrnDI
She watched them fight one on one and was glad when, with dim vision, she saw Klaus get the White Oak stake and pierce Mikael's heart with it.599Please respect copyright.PENANAHfvfUzo030
As Mikael lay on his back, dead, Klaus got to his feet.599Please respect copyright.PENANA8YR8fPYxo0
A moment later, he was in front of her, snapping the ropes.599Please respect copyright.PENANArwCxQQ0TZr
Once finished, he rested gentle hands on either side of her face, keeping her head up.599Please respect copyright.PENANAdYcZHWxv8B
"Katerina? Katerina. Can you hear me, Katerina?"599Please respect copyright.PENANAbqDjOlZhzD
Not getting an answer, he bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, using one hand to keep her head up.599Please respect copyright.PENANAKzLzkYojQP
"Come on Katerina; Drink."599Please respect copyright.PENANAh8Hc6IBzLU
Feeling the familiar liquid, she began to drink and, once her wounds were healed, she woke up a little.599Please respect copyright.PENANA5O8EB9OrUo
"Klaus," she whispered.599Please respect copyright.PENANAg4CYQtd1E4
He gently picked her up in his arms.599Please respect copyright.PENANAxool41DWvy
"It's okay. I'm here. You're safe now, Katerina, luv."599Please respect copyright.PENANAQtB8puctJt
She wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes.599Please respect copyright.PENANAsmyCXN0DfL
599Please respect copyright.PENANAQKY0gfVEGx
599Please respect copyright.PENANAGBbe8RAo1R
Once home, he gently layed her down in his room on his bed and sat on her bedside, his hand in hers, looking down at her.599Please respect copyright.PENANAh0OrUAzkOw
599Please respect copyright.PENANAoXFy733m4T
599Please respect copyright.PENANA8gIsOeTteC
A few hours later, she woke up to see him on her bedside, looking down at her in worry.599Please respect copyright.PENANAqeIK5iFsf0
She smiled and rested a gentle hand on the left side of his face.599Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZqEvGcFph
"I'm okay. Don't worry. You saved me and defeated Mikael."599Please respect copyright.PENANAa8pm32esZM
"How can I not worry? I almost lost you, Katerina."599Please respect copyright.PENANAxZPTYHYL2O
"But you didn't. Live in the moment. Plot against your mother tomorrow."599Please respect copyright.PENANAZZHv3YBuKM
She gave him a kiss and then a smile.599Please respect copyright.PENANAmdyRZps7Qs
He smiled back.599Please respect copyright.PENANA5jV0QVpwsJ
"You're absolutely right."599Please respect copyright.PENANAHcMVVuOnEj
A moment later, they were kissing and taking clothes off, going to third base. And in that moment, they came back to each other.599Please respect copyright.PENANARHc3iDDf11
599Please respect copyright.PENANAuBtpf1y1eM
599Please respect copyright.PENANAUiZQNSVPpT
A few weeks later, Esther was dead and all was peaceful in both the Bayou and French Quarter. Witches were able to do magic again, the werewolves were allowed back in the French Quarter, and Rebekah and Hope were able to return home to Klaus, Hayley, Elijah, and Kol.599Please respect copyright.PENANAeJpcafVVdV

A few months later, Katherine and Klaus had a little girl named Katherina Petrova Mikaelson, who was born a hybrid; half werewolf, half vampire, and half human.599Please respect copyright.PENANAJrPBibEcky
